@Fabby welp, I'm just an amateur trying to run along side with the pros here :) my mind is quite blank (was very stressful day) and i'm going to bed soon, but i just wanted to say that . . .
BTW, if anyone is looking for a home server, I was informed to go to eBay and find Dell c6100's for $3-400(US). 2U, multi machine, Quad-core (or better), lots of RAM.
Since a month, I can not download package of Ubuntu Software 14.10
This is really annoying. I try to type the command : sudo apt-get update
but i have this result :

Anybody else who always cancel their basket and shop elsewhere after we have to give in all our details again in case we missed to fill in only one of their many fields.
Which could also be a wrong Captcha.
<-- does not need to be bothered with Captachs when shopping
@NathanOsman: In NitroShare, using 2 Windows clients, when following a link to a non-existent directory (E.G. Example pictures) the transfer bails out and doesn't continue. Is this by design or a bug?
@Fabby So, in Denver, it's me and my parents. My mother's mother (aka my grandmother) and father (aka grandfather) live in my hometown (called Marganets). So me and my mother came to the hometown to visit and also try to fix some stuff in the grandfather's house and take grandmother for examination cuz she's having trouble with her thyroid gland.
@Fabby yesterday her two classmates came over to see my mother and wanted to go drink coffee, but . . . .what coffee do you drink at 11 pm ? in my hometown, that has all sorts of people after dusk ?
@Fabby so everything resulted into a big family argument. Grandmother had to call emergency. Mother? Nothing, she still went to see her classmates. Who gives a damn about grandmother dying of high blood pressure when there's classmates ,right ? And no, it was really coffee. I had to walk with them to the nearest open shop , cuz . . . I'm not gonna just let my mother wander the streets with two idiots who appeared out of nowhere
At the end I took one of those two guys to the side, talked to the guy, like , this stuff aint right
I don't understand, why would you object to your mother seeing old friends? How is it any of your business even? Were you going to take your grandmother to the hospital at 11pm and that was cancelled for coffee?
Now my mom is pissed, because " it's not pretty " and "making her loose face". Who gives a damn about 3 people telling you not to go and grandmother having sky-high blood pressure, right ?
@terdon I don't object to mother seeing her old friends. But not at night
OK, I have no idea what the area is like. Still, that's your mother's choice to make isn't it? She's an adult after all. I'm sure you objected to her putting such limits on you. :)
Also, presumably the friends live there and are probably more familiar with the dangers than you are. If I'm not mistaken, you've been away for at least a few years.
If the issue is that there was a family medical emergency and she ignored that to have fun with her friends, that's completely different.
@terdon that's exactly why i am pissed. She's standing talking, while emergency truck is driving by over to my grandmother's house. She totally ignored it.
Ah. Well, I'm with my family at the moment too. However, I established years ago that my room is a smoke friendly zone. I don't smoke elsewhere in the house but my room is my business :)
@A.B. They have an interesting ash-tray... or you can sit next to the intake of an air purifier... There are also smoker's candles, although I doubt they really work. Anyway, I have a friend who is overly sensitive to some smells, but she's a smoker. Empties the ash-tray in an outside trash can after every few cigarettes, because evidently that's the smell that actually bothers her.
That said, as a courtesy - I never even think of smoking in a non-smoker's car or house.
I have a file with the following contents:

How can I extract every how to extract every line that starts with a parenthesis?
Nope. I've read through it, and i saw you're using gsettings, but that same command didn't work for me outside the script. I'll install emacs in a second and test it, but i suspect the result is the same. Disabling Alt TAb only works for me in the CompizConfig settings manager
@Fabby At the moment, I got a room. I've moved back with my parents while my broken leg healed and until I find a new job. But I've never lived in a place where I couldn't smoke. That would be awful.

How can I reliably check which is the last time an Ubuntu machine has been connected to the internet?
In case this is not possible, a way to check the last time an Ubuntu machine has been connected to a network would be good enough.
@kos when sebastian and you said you guys only see hex numbers there, my immediate response was that the file might be different , because 15.04's network manager is different
Though that probably shows when you were connected to your network, I don't think there's any way of differentiating a LAN with no internet from one that's connected to WAN.
@kos my file is exactly like i posted it in the answer. The thing is that 15.04 has nmcli commands different that nmcli in 14.04, so i kind of freaked out, maybe there's some other differences
@terdon Yep I guess so. That's a shame. Doesn't Ubuntu always connect to Canonical's servers once online? I think I've read something like that in an answer
@kos At the moment, a hybrid of Mint Debian edition and Debian testing. I started with LMDE, then switched my repos to pure testing for a while and back to LMDE when they came out with their latest version.
I did use Ubuntu for a couple of years but that was ~6 years ago I guess.
@terdon Ah I see. I tought about trying Debian- However for the use I have to make of my machine I don't think I'd see an improvement, and I don't like changes :)
@kos Personally, I really dislike the direction Ubuntu is going in. They make too many changes to basic system stuff and like to force their users to behave in specific ways (see Unity menus/close buttons etc, for example).
Plus, I don't like the idea of a corporation being behind my OS but that's just me. Still, things like the spyware (amazon search 'feature") they include are scary.
@terdon :) You're lucky! I had to give up smoking in my own place when I moved in with my current GF... But I got used to it as you can't smoke most places anyway...
@terdon: (off topic) Thanks for the help of some days ago. If do you need help about bash or Inkscape (my better known programs), don't doubt to ask me about.
@terdon Yeah they're similiar. I envy you a bit, I'd love to had been raised by two different native speakers, it comes so handy and you can easily make a work out of it.
I have Ubuntu 15.04 with a default full disk encryption installed on my chromebook Pixel with linux-samus kernel patch and everything is working fine. I've just tried compiling a newer version of the kernel (4.1), but when I'm trying to boot it I'm getting an error where I would normally enter th...
@Serg I started looking at some free online Russian courses recently. I'd like to learn Russian. Also am I wrong or the sentences construction is somehow more similiar to latin languages? (I mean the order of the words at least)
@kos I think sentence structure is pretty close, but the thing is russian has crazy grammar. It's better to learn conversational part first. Then go into grammar and sentence structures.
Especially verbs. Russian has tons of ways how verbs change
